PrintJordan Williams and Dennis Horner combined for 37 points and 19 rebounds Tuesday night in Canton, OH, as the Armor front court dominated the Charge, the Cavaliers' D-League affiliate. For Williams, it was his best performance since being sent down to Springfield a little more than a week ago. He finished with 18, 14 and three blocks.
"They were with the Nets, but they weren’t playing in games. And with the way the NBA schedule is right now, there weren’t even practices going on," Armor Coach Bob MacKinnon said. "To get back into game action, it’s an adjustment, it’s almost like you’re re-learning how to play hard and how to play consistently hard".
Jeff Foote, the Armor's 7'1" center, had 19 points and eight boards. The Cornell grad spent time in the Trail Blazers training camp.

this is the value of the D-League affiliation
this kid is playing on a team that is coached and trained by Nets employees that is running Nets sets, that is using Nets calls, and whose front office is in daily touch with the Nets front office.

Any chance the Nets take a look at Jeff Foote?
We’re getting killed in the paint.
And really everywhere else too, I guess.
GIANTS! 2011 NFC East Champs!
he played with MarShon Brooks on the NYC pro-am team.
not too quick…but has good fundamentals.

The Foote I saw in college
could not match up in the NBA. Not sure how he has progressed.
Anyway, Cornell Represent!

With Foote, J-Will, Horner, L.D. Williams and OnCurry trough D-League playoffs...
….Armor has a chance to win the champioship.
The Spurs D-League team, Austin Toros is a great team. Even though they keep losing players, called up to the Spurs they are still the best D-League team.
2012 Lineup: D-Will - Brooks - AK47 - Lopez - D12... Book it!
OnCurry?
his last name is Curry. His first name is JamesOn.

By the way Ben Uzoh, has been beasting in D-League
he’s has been dropping 20.8 ppg, 7.6 reb and 6 ast per game. Nets should have kept him in Armor.

I always liked his size thought he had decent potential needed confidence.
"We're not there yet, but we're going somewhere," Johnson said. "And we're going to Brooklyn. We're not going to contract. We're going to Brooklyn."
his lack of a jumper negates his driving ability
basically shaun livingston without the handles and athleticism(before the knee injury)

It's great that we have a personal forum to develop our young potential talent...
So now even second round picks become important. Although they may not be able to contribute right away, there is a chance they could in the near future…
Nice
I love that we have this D-League team to develop players and keep them playing.
"A little boy went out to play. When he opened his door, he saw the world. As he passed through the doorway, he caused a reflection. Evil was born. Evil was born, and followed the boy."
would be better if he got some playing time on the team roster...
Okur is showing signs of age, Shawnee can’t play the PF spot and Petro is Petro.
We need some energy and thoughness off the bench and right now there’s none, Nets must have the weakest front-court in the league and it’s hurting them.
Not saying he is the answer but should be given a chance.
for the right of watching tv broadcasted nets games...
I really wish Jordan Williams stayed in shape.
This is the season for glimmers of hope and young talent. I hope he continues to improve and impress in the D-League and we see him play for the Nets by the end of the season.
